SYNOPSIS Act 1: Paris. A performance at the Hotel de Bourgogne Cyrano de Bergerac goes to see a play because he has forbidden the actor Montfleury to take the stage, but Montfleury plans to perform in the night’s production anyway. Cyrano is deeply in love with his cousin Roxane, but he considers himself too ugly even to risk telling Roxane about his feelings. The handsome, young nobleman Christian is in the audience as well and confides in his friend Ligniere that he too loves Roxane. Montfleury takes the stage, and Cyrano bullies him off it. A group of aristocrats tries to send Cyrano away, but he challenges them all to a duel. While fighting, Cyrano improvises a poem about the duel. Roxane’s duenna brings him a message, asking him to meet Roxane in the morning. He learns that Ligniere has offended a powerful nobleman with his latest satire and that a hundred men are waiting to ambush him. Cyrano proclaims that he will see Ligniere safely home and, if necessary, fight all hundred men. Act 2: Ragueneau’s pastry-shop Cyrano meets Roxane at Ragueneau’s pastry shop. He nearly tells her his feelings, but she tells him that she loves Christian, who will soon join Cyrano’s company of guards. She asks Cyrano to protect Christian, and he agrees. When the cadets arrive, Christian tries to prove his courage by insulting Cyrano, but Cyrano embraces him and tells him about Roxane’s feelings. Christian fears that he is a simple, unpoetic man because he considers Roxane an intellectual. Cyrano has the idea that he can write to Roxane pretending to be Christian, and Christian agrees to the plan. Act 3: Marais. Roxane’s house Roxane confides in Cyrano that Christian’s letters have moved her inexpressibly. Christian tells Cyrano he no longer wants his help then makes a fool of himself trying to speak seductively to Roxane. Cyrano makes Christian stand in front of Roxane’s balcony and speaks to her while Cyrano stands under the balcony whispering what to say. Eventually Cyrano pretends to be Christian under the guise of night, winning a kiss for Christian. Roxane and Christian are secretly married by a monk. De Guiche, angry to have lost Roxane, declares that he is sending the Cadets of Gascoyne to the front lines of the war with Spain. Act 4: The siege of Arras From the front lines, Cyrano writes to Roxane as Christian and sneaks through the Spanish lines to send the letters. De Guiche reveals that the Spaniards will attack within the hour. Roxane arrives at the battlefield to visit Christian. Christian has guessed of Cyrano’s secret feelings for Roxane and forces Cyrano to tell her the truth. On the cusp of revealing his feelings, Cyrano is interrupted by a sudden gunshot that kills Christian. Roxane faints, and de Guiche takes her to safety while Cyrano charges into the battle. Act 5: Paris. Fifteen years later. The park of the Sisters of the Holy Cross Roxane now lives in a convent where Cyrano visits her every week. His friend Le Bret informs Roxane that Cyrano’s life is in danger because he has made many powerful enemies. Ragueneau rushes in to tell Le Bret that Cyrano has been ambushed and hit with a heavy log pushed from a window. Le Bret and Ragueneau rush off as Cyrano appears to give Roxane a news update. Cyrano asks to read Christian’s last letter to her, and as he reads it, Roxane realizes that Cyrano wrote the letters. Ragueneau and Le Bret rush in to announce that Cyrano is dying because of his injuries. Roxane exclaims that she loves him and that he cannot die. Cyrano draws his sword and engages in one last fight with his “old enemies”, slashing at the air insensibly before he dies. 4

AQ U I L A T H E AT R E Aquila Theatre’s mission is to make classical works accessible to the greatest number. A play becomes ‘classical’ because we recognize that after a time it transcends the original culture it was created for. It retains the power to provoke the central question of what it means to be human. As a company dedicated to the classics, we feel a responsibility to acknowledge and explore newfound classical works. Founded in London in 1991 by Peter Meineck, Aquila is now based in New York City. Aquila’s programs include: PRODUCTIONS IN NEW YORK CITY: Aquila is a major part of New York’s theatrical landscape, producing a regular season of plays. Aquila recently produced Shakespeare’s Macbeth at the GYM at Judson, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author, Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at New York University, and Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and Homer’s The Iliad: Book One Off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. A MAJOR ANNUAL NATIONAL TOUR: Aquila is the foremost producer of touring classical theatre in the United States, visiting 60-70 American cities per year. Aquila’s 2011/2012 Season was Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. The 2010/2011 Season was Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author. Aquila’s 2009/2010 Season of Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People began with The Festival of the Aegean on Syros, Greece and the Shakespeare Festival/LA. The 2013/2014 Season will be Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451. INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCES: Aquila has appeared in numerous festivals and at venues around the world including performances in London, Holland, Germany, Greece, Scotland, Canada, and Bermuda. Aquila recently performed Euripides’ Herakles at the Festival of the Aegean in Syros, Greece and the Michael Cacoyannis Foundation in Athens. EDUCATION PROGRAMS: Aquila is dedicated to theatre arts education and produces three major initiatives: Workshop America, a nationwide program that provides an opportunity for people to share in the art of Aquila; Theatre Breakthrough, which brings America’s schools to the stage; and Shakespeare Leaders, an after-school program that enables inner-city students to perform the classics at Frederick Douglas Academy in Harlem, NYC. ANCIENT GREEKS/MODERN LIVES: Aquila has been awarded a highly prestigious NEH Chairman’s Special Award for a major national humanities program, Ancient Greeks/ Modern Lives: Poetry-Drama-Dialogue, traveling to 100 public libraries and art centers across America. www.ancientgreeksmodernlives.org.

Petruchio arrives with Hortensio (as Litio) and Gremio arrives with Lucentio (as Cambio). Petruchio meets Kate, and he announces that they are to be married on Sunday, though Kate protests. Baptista tells Tranio (as Lucentio) and Gremio that the one with the highest dowry will get Bianca. Tranio declares that he has more wealth than Gremio because he will eventually inherit his father’s wealth, but Baptista insists that Lucentio’s father comes in person to assure that he will pass on his wealth to his son and daughter in law to be in the event that his son dies before him.

Tranio admits to Hortensio that Bianca exhibits an interest in Cambio (the real Lucentio). Hortensio vows he will foreswear Bianca and marry a wealthy widow.

A M E S S AG E F R O M S E A N D O R S E Y It is my joy and delight to share The Secret History of Love with you tonight. Tonight’s show is the culmination of a two-year project of passionate excavation, examination and exploration … all in the name of love. I came to this project wondering: how on earth did transgender and queer people find – and love – each other in decades past, when our bodies and relationships were not only banished but illegal? Wearing clothing “not belonging to one’s own sex,” gathering in public together, or loving in queer ways put us under threat of violence, incarceration and death. Decades ago, drag queens, butches, lesbians, gay men, two-spirits and transpeople were violently forced into hiding, shame and secrecy. Great loves and life-saving friendships flourished…but in secret. Despite being shoved into the shadows, however, our ancestors not only survived but thrived! Our incredible resiliency, creativity, courage and determination manifested in the rich underground ways we found each other – secret house parties, speakeasies, meetings, quiet friendships, passionate lifelong love affairs, and activist groups. This show is based on real life stories of LGBT people. Over the past two years, I conducted a national LGBT Elders Oral History Project – in which I recorded interviews with LGBT elders and asked them about their life stories and love stories. I also did extensive archival research, collecting proof of our love in years past: love letters, handbills for queer speakeasies, personal ads and clandestine photos of lovers and gatherings. And so we loved. And continue to love! We continue to foil the forces that would extinguish our loves and friendships – connecting today in both underground and (thanks to the hard work of our ancestors) above-ground ways. How inspiring to excavate, examine and express our resourcefulness, our history, the power of our love and connection. And how important for us now to commit to defending our love and our bodies today, as new forces attempt to devalue, attack and outlaw us. Our love can never be defeated (snap!). This show is now on a national tour that will continue over the next two seasons. Please talk to me if you know a theater, festival or college that you think might like to present us (or email my General Manager at freshmeatinfo@gmail.com). Thank you for coming! — Sean Dorsey
